Help with the pronunciation

MD? Muffin? Can you call my cell phone and leave a message for me please? Just one word, actually. Very simple assignment. In your best Brit (pref. Leiceister dialect, but whatever. Standard British is fine) would you please say the word:


"Garage"


Yeah. We had about 5-6 minutes worth of frass regarding the pronunciation, since 3 characters say the word in their dialogue all on the same page. One word, three pronunciations. ("GAY-rage"/"garrage"/and of course...my impeccable English pronunciation: "Garage")

Anyway, if it's not too much trouble for one word that'd be greaaaat. Otherwise, I need to check with my Mo-nager to see if I can apply for part time boyfriendship- Don't want it to seem like I'm moonlighting, you know?

At the very least, I'll just kick your ass.

(And I'll win! Ha HA! She can barely move! Great success!)

Ok Leicester - North of the North/South divide, hence prounounced "Ga-rridge"

If you were South of the North/South divide, it would be prounounced "Gaar-are-ge".
Annunciation on the a, which is pronounced like the word "are".
